I am laughing at what I am writing now this is Mara’s uncensored

Rat mafia cyborg boss hui

“Mate, your jaw muscles drop down in a mouth shaped on their own as if you were one of those plastic dolls, Put that show with rented beer and phallic-shaped hats and you could rock the College frat parties revival in the Caribidis sector”…

Little by little you come to your senses and consider what to say to the bionic rat dressed in a rainbow tutu. “That vampires exist okay, we are close to the year 4000 and I am an open-minded ${man} but How can it be that to join the Vampire party my only options are to make a galactic universal income tax return gigamax format?!”

The stone-dead face of the neuro-tronic mouse is motionless and ashen as the additional commission on your last medical mortgage.

You heard him repeating the fragment in his legalese voice: “Or you can kill one of the people on that list. Everything perfectly legal” as established in the work contract of the Vampire Dating app subsection 6 line 6 chapter 6. "

Sigh “How many do I have to kill?” Your hands shake and wobble trying to keep your voice down. “Because nothing in this world will make me pay those taxes!”

I like this idea too. Maybe we could do it on the last day of the month with our progress reports on monthly goals?

Me too although I tend to have more trouble with titling academic work than my creative work.

I’m glad to see you enjoying what your writing.

Not going to lie, I appreciate the liberatory feeling of being able to swear like a normal person after spending years writing something like one “fuck” per five hundred thousand published words.

My advice is do a quicktext before starting and other after stop writing like a habit.

If it makes you feel better, I probably made up for all the fucks you didn’t get to write when I attempted to play Sabres of Infinity as a self-insert character. I’m not cut out for the fucking battlefield. I fucking died. Fuck!

I ended up using a guide someone posted on Steam just to get through the story.

To be fair, I’m actually proud my self-insert character lasted long enough to die at Blogia. He seriously had zero in Soldiering.

You can win with zero. I did you have to have charisma and Caza

Because I use LibreOffice’s built-in word count feature, no. I write my drafts in there before I code them in.

I also had extremely low Charisma. It’s probably a gross failure of verisimilitude on @Cataphrak’s part that my men didn’t stab me in my sleep for being an obnoxious pedantic twit long before Blogia.
